Buoyed by the inclusion of poll strategist Prashant Kishor, All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary Madhusudan Mistri exhorted leaders and workers not just to work for hiking the tally but to attain a majority.
However, senior leaders including Kishor, failed to answer repeated queries from the participants as to why did the party fail to project any one as the CM candidate furtehr affecting its prospects.
"We should not fight the coming polls merely to increase the tally but our emphasis should be on ensuring a majority in the Assembly,” asserted Mistri who is also the UP in-charge.
Addressing partymen, Mistri said that there was not much time left for the Assembly polls so the task of forming a Congress government should start immediately.
"With 50 districts of UP facing drought-like situation I appeal to all workers to go in those places and help the people, particularly farmers, so that they could combat its ill-effects,” added Mistri.
In his address, UP Congress chief Nirmal Khatri said,
"The outlook and opinion of youth is different from what we think. Hence, I would like you all to come up with good suggestions so that we could work jointly to implement them. I exhirt the leaders of Youth Congress to work hard which could boost our chances in returning to power."
In his speech, Kishor said that one thing all the Congress leaders and workers should keep in mind is that they were working to win and form the government.
``Forget the past of how you or the candidates performed. Just focus on teh fact that now we all working to win and form the government in UP,” quipped Kishor.
The meeting was also attended by ClP leader, Pradeep Mathur and other senior leaders. On Friday, the leaders would interact with frontal outfits of the Congress - NSUI, Mahila Congress, Youth Congress and the likes.
